Table Hopping with Morris Gut

It has become an annual rite of the culinary world. The prestigious Michelin Restaurant Guides have been published for the 4th year, in Westchester. 

 

The ‘Bib Gourmand’ designations (reasonably priced eateries of merit), and Stars (high-end restaurants), can be meaningful to a restaurant’s bottom line. Here are the local spots that made the list for 2023-24. 

 

‘Bibs’ in Westchester include: 

 

• Dubrovnik, New Rochelle, Croatian-Adriatic cuisine

• Maria, New Rochelle, Italian-global

• Tredici Social, Bronxville, regional Italian

• Café Alaia, Scarsdale, an Italian trattoria

• Burrata, Eastchester, artisanal woodfired pizza

• The Southern Table, Pleasantville, Southern specialties

• RaaSa, Elmsford, regional Indian cuisine

• Rafele, Rye, Neapolitan Italian cuisine

• Boro6 Wine Bar, Hastings-on-Hudson, European style taverna

New additions this year: TVB by Pax Romana, White Plains, known for their fresh pastas; Chutney Masala, Irvington, modern Indian cuisine. The only star (2) recipient in Westchester was once again Blue Hill at Stone Barns.
